Already done. Education is considered a public good. That is why K-12 education is paid for in the US. As far as a higher degree, the landscapers working across the street probably would not benefit from getting a degree and I do not see how the public would benefit from paying for a degree for those guys either. There are a significant number of jobs out there that would not benefit from people getting a degree. There are perhaps classes that might help in regards to those jobs but a degree is not something that would help. Also, the classes that would help are generally provided exceptionally reasonably priced at community colleges.

- zip1234 8y agoDid you read my comment? I mentioned that community colleges already provide additional, cheap, education that fulfill that additional education.
- gdubs 8y agoHonestly missed / misread that last sentence!
